We would like to recognize Jade Freeman as 'Lori and Rob's Hero' this week.

When Jade was just 8, she started an organization called, "Trees Makes A Difference" and over the past 2 years has been instrumental in planting over 600 trees, including in Fintry Provincial Park.

For her efforts, Jade won the City of Vernon's Youth Sustainability Award 2010.  Way to go Jade!

To help plant more trees, Jade has organized a fundraising concert, which happens this Sunday afternoon at Mackie Lake House in Coldstream, featuring the Cat and the Fiddle Band. Showtime is 5 p.m.  Limited tickets are available by emailing Jade at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
